Signal / Noise

Hi, I'm pleased to announce the first side project to DRE geekly called Signal / Noise.

Band is only a pair of Maxs and it sounds like some downtempo electro thing.
We've only been working on it for two days and we already have some extended jams and a first track (with like a structure and stuff) currently under construction.
We decided it to be a new band just because it doesn't sound like DRE at all.

Don't worry, DRE is going well, we're doing new sessions next weekend so you might have new records to check soon (and maybe also a S/N release).

DRE007

DRE_007 was recorded in Steven's flat in Lille on 26+27/01/2011.
Only a few jams were recorded and we played without a drumkit (only a pair of muffled floor toms) on small 15w amps.
A "post-rock guitar player trick using a screwdriver" was used to create some "violin" tones on guitar.
The "DRExxx" chronology doesn't count our last release, so it's not called DRE008 despite it's our eighth release.
Will work later on an alternate artwork in the style of previous ones. This one seems weird enough to me to fit the recordings and it don't consider this release a major one as it's really short and at least 2 tracks are based on an idea we are currently developping into a proper track.

This record was intended to include a "bathroom session" we did later but it sadly appeared that the recording (cheaply done with my cellphone) was just a blank .amr file of 42min (for ~4Mo) so please be aware that the Sony Ericsson Hazel is a piece of crap about audio and just can't record sounds (but it makes pretty not so crappy videos and even if the camera kinda sucks it still has those cool effects you can use to take weird photos).

Steven got his PC fucked up by a goddamn virus, that sucks !
(it means what we were doing on previous picture might have been flushed out of his HDD and ...  that sucks !).

And we saw The Black Angels (second time for me, third for Max, NASA is still calculating for Steven) at the "aero" monday, they rocks the fuck out and you must love 'em or die (sorry, no third option, sir). The curtain behind them was kind of a bad trip itself.




Working on a new concept for future video, might take some time to do but will be worth it.
